About Nantes

NANTES are back with a new single, new mini-album and a tour.

NANTES play 7 shows on the East Coast in support of their new single “7” from their new mini-album LIMBO.

NANTES core members, David Rogers and Jos Eastwood, wrote and recorded six new songs for LIMBO and the end result is a strong cohesive body of work that cuts through with power and poise and captures the uniqueness of NANTES.

Produced by Simon Todkill and David Rogers in Sydney, mixed by Tony Doogan (Mogwai, Belle & Sebastian) in Glasgow and mastered by Frank Arkwright (too many to mention!) at Abbey Road in London, LIMBO is released as a Limited Edition CD as well as digitally.

Having arrived in 2011 with the majestic “Fly” followed by other favourites “Charlie”, “Unsatisfy” and “Drones”, NANTES return with the follow up to their 2013 debut album BeingsBeing. LIMBO is released through the band’s Deadhand Music label and is distributed by MGM.

“7” and LIMBO will be featured live on an East Coast tour in April/May;
